Video & podcast production
I have 25 years’ experience of bringing stories to life through videos and podcasts. My content has achieved over a million views on YouTube and has helped raise thousands of pounds for charities. Whether you're a small business looking to connect with customers or a charity wanting to inspire action, I can help you craft videos and podcasts in ways that are authentic, engaging, and memorable.
Demand for long-form videos is increasing, especially on YouTube, because of its SEO benefits and opportunities for monetisation. I particularly love producing long-form stories because of its versatility and longevity; it can be used as a whole video or audio, as well as split into bite-sized content that can be shared over a period of time on a variety of platforms.
Video editing
As an Adobe certified video editor, I can edit and repurpose your existing video content. It doesn’t matter where you’re based - upload your footage to a secure cloud storage provider, along with a brief, and I can turn it into a polished, impactful video for your website, social media, presentation or other uses.
Why outsource your video editing?
-
Speed: video editing is time-consuming, even if you’ve had some training. As an experienced editor, I can quickly turn your footage into an edited video.
-
Professional finishing: I can provide additional services such as colour grading, graphics and audio balancing to give you a polished and professional video.

Content writing
If you want to tell your story through written content, I can help with that. I’m a trained journalist and published feature writer with bylines in publications including Cosmopolitan Bride and The Big Issue, and many client blogs and articles. I bring a storyteller’s eye and editorial judgement to every project to create engaging copy for humans first and foremostly, as well as algorithms. I use effective storytelling techniques to craft words that connect, convert, and build trust. Great written content boosts your visibility, strengthens your brand, and drives real results by aligning your audience to your mission.
Photography
Every photograph should tell a story. Whether it's capturing the essence of your brand, the spirit of your team, or the energy of a live event, my approach begins not with the camera, but with a question: what story needs to be told? By collaborating with a trusted team of exceptional photographers who share my commitment to visual storytelling, I can cater for a wide range of projects and styles, including:
-
Brand photography – authentic, story-driven images that bring your brand to life
-
Team head shots – not just portraits, but personality captured in a single frame
-
Product photography - images showing not just what it is, but why it matters
-
Reportage event photography – real moments, naturally told
I recently managed a brand shoot for Fittleworth Medical to capture photography that could be used for online, exhibitions and printed materials. Here's what marketing manager, Mark, said about the experience: "Those two days completely surpassed my expectations. You and Matt were brilliant, everyone at Fittleworth loved you both and the effect we had on the teams was amazing. I am so pleased with everything we captured, we got a HUGE amount done in two days."
Stories management
Stories are the beating heart of many organisations, breathing life into your mission and proving the benefits of your services. It takes bravery for people to share the challenges they have faced and this needs to be handled with care and compassion by someone they trust. Building a relationship of trust with contributors is at the heart of my approach.

Help to develop and grow a stories strategy.

Identify storytellers and stories that align with your purpose, values and message.
-
Identify types of content and formats that work across your channels and campaigns.
-
Establish and nurture relationships with storytellers using my ethical content creation approach, which prioritises their health, safety and wellbeing.
-
Manage content creation - I can produce content myself or manage other content producers.
-
Ensure that stories are gathered from a diverse range of storytellers, and advise on content accessibility including subtitling, transcriptions, sign language and foreign language versioning and audio descriptions.
-
Advise on the set up and maintenance of a secure content management system.
